Derek McInnes caught up with the media ahead of Hearts’ game against Falkirk on Saturday.
He said “They’re [Falkirk] a good side. We’ve had two big league wins against them this season but we’ve had to do so well in both of them.”
“I thought our home game against them earlier in the season was as good as we’ve played. I thought we were very good.”
“The away game, with the conditions, it was difficult and obviously they have managed to beat us on penalties in the cup recently.”
“So we are well aware, I think they’ve been brilliant value. I thought they would have been, I said that before the first game and nothing has changed my mind.”
“I think they have got good energy, good speed in how they play, and well managed, so it’s a difficult game for us.”
“But as I say, to get to where we want to get to and for us to stay top of the league, we are going to have to play well and hopefully Saturday’s another demonstration of that.”
Both sides will head into this weekend’s game off the back of defeats. Hearts lost away to Rangers in a 4-2 thriller, and Falkirk dropped points to Dundee United at home in only their 4th home defeat this season.
